India is much larger than Pakistan and has more available manpower, larger industrial capacity and larger economy. Thus, India will be on the offensive. However, Pakistan is not a pushover. I can see Pakistan using their superior attack helicopter fleet on Indian armor units in the open. ISI-linked insurgents (or terrorists if you will) may also attack Indian cities and terrorize Indian population. Besides, India's air force and navy are plagued with maintenance issues.

The Indian air force has lost quite a few planes to accidents since the start of this year as well.

In short, this is a winter war scenario. Soviet Union (India) may win, but the cost is so high that it is not work it.
